S1 Ep 2Who is Driving the Economic Car?

People are cyclical. The economy is cyclical. It’s something I’ve continuously repeated to myself the past few weeks as I’ve been traveling. I had a conversation with my Uber driver about the current state of affairs, and he asked me - “how could you be so jaded to choose money over people” when I was explaining the well-that’s-just-how-it-is-ism of the Federal Reserve. I did a piece for Bloomberg Opinion on three main economic players - fiscal policy decision makers, the central banks, and the markets. The markets are increasingly dictating policy as we saw in the U.K. recently. We are seeing demands of austerity, and demands of reconciliation between fiscal and monetary policy. And of course the question is with these intertwined players - who is really driving the economic car?

S1 Ep 2The Fed’s Goal? Getting the Economy on a Sustainable Path

I had the incredible opportunity to interview Mary Daly, the President and CEO of the San Francisco Federal Reserve. As we all know, the Federal Reserve is raising rates, shrinking their balance sheet in order to fight inflation - but there are increasing concerns over the consequences that those policy decisions have. People are the economy. The economy is just a bunch of people “peopling” around. That’s really important to keep in mind when making policy decisions. We discuss all that and more in this interview - wealth disparity, generational impacts, lessons that the Fed has learned, the concept of data dependency and lagged metrics, as well as the ties between fiscal and monetary policy.

S1 Ep 2Why The Fed Wants a Weaker Jobs Market

Today we got the latest JOLTS report - Job openings fell 1.1 million in August to 10.1 million. The drop in job openings last month (-1,117,000) is larger than the drop in job openings in March 2020 (-1,087,000). However, the Fed is unlikely to pivot - "Tighter monetary policy has begun to cool demand and reduce inflationary pressures, but our job is not yet done. It will take time, but I am fully confident we will return to a sustained period of price stability."

S1 Ep 2The Federal Reserve's Inflation Battle

The Fed raised rates by 75 bps today in order to battle inflation. They're likely going to keep on raising rates. They're going restrictive mode, nearing that meaning that they're willing to take on quite a bit of economic weakness in order to slow the economy down, which is their way of managing inflation.

There’s an energy crisis going on. I am going to talk about how we got here, what’s going on right now, and some ideas for what the future could look like.

S1 Ep 2Quiet Quitting is Actually Quite Loud

I truly think the Fed is doing the best they can with the tools that they do have - but as I and many others have written about before, their best might not be good enough here. I think using the labor market as a tool is of course an economic necessity for what they can do - but it’s a tool that has long lasting morale consequences and enhances distrust in a world that is increasingly losing trust in everything.

S1 Ep 2The Inflation Narrative

Inflation being 0% in July doesn’t diminish that pain and worry that so many are experiencing. There is still a long way to go. But even marginal improvements can tip the dominoes in a better direction - which should help shape expectations to be more positive, and the compounding impact of that is a good thing.

The algorithmic money faucet does not like detail, but that is what this economy *requires*.

Nuance is required, especially as we navigate the next few months of a Fast and Furious Fed, who is hellbent on fighting inflation.

S1 Ep 2The Semantics of a Recession

Grief and love are the same emotion, expressed differently. We are living in a world of increasing differentials, where our base case is becoming less probable, and we are having to build out new models of thinking. That is exciting but scary - we might be all experiencing the derivative of the ‘same thing’ as our economic world changes around us but it shows up for all us differently. And that is important to remember.

S1 Ep 2Jobs in Finance Explained | A Guide

There are a lot of avenues in finance, including taking the CFA and other credentialing exams. Basically, if you are handling other people’s money, you’re going to have to take some sort of test to prove that you can do it. The good thing about that though is that a lot of these tests have lateral moves - you get to learn about the nuances of the entire industry which can help if you choose to pursue a different path.

So it’s going to be silly and dumb because people are silly and dumb. I don’t know. I think it’s frustrating and it’s also okay to *be* frustrated. That’s part of where action comes from. And just like the Fed, we have to take action to maintain our credibility (something I need to work on more). The bifurcation of society shows that we care at least - but how do we harness these emotions into something productive for our collective future? That’s the eternal question.

Check out Scoot here: https://www.scootscience.com Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post with Scoot Science. As I’ve outlined in many of my pieces, we cannot have green energy policy without green energy investment - but I’ve never provided or discussed solutions beyond that. Scoot Science is building a tool called SeaVest that allows investors to understand the investability of salmon sites, incorporating sustainability and investment impact in order to benefit society (and the environment!). This piece will discuss the history of investing, with a focus on climate-related projects, and then discuss the importance of ocean investment and understanding ocean risk to grow the blue economy. There will be a focus on salmon farms, through both the lens of economic and ecosystem benefits, and how we truly can embrace the concept of ESG. 00:00 - Intro 00:40 - History 03:13 - Investing in Oceans 05:33 - The Farms 07:09 - Investment Opportunities 11:13 - Improved Environmental Impact 14:18 - Final Thoughts Blog: https://kyla.substack.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylascanlon/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kylascan?
